Nicki Minaj Says Beyoncé Is the Ultimate Work Wife

But did you ever really doubt it?

In the office, there's your average colleague—the one who grabs you coffee from time to time—and then there's your work spouse, the one who will listen to your Gchat rants, cover for you when you have to sneak, balance out your crazy, and who just gets it. Beyoncé, who Nicki Minaj says really is as wonderful as you think, is basically the ultimate work wife. "I always feel like I learn so much when I work with her," Minaj told Time. (The two collaborated on Beyoncé's "Flawless" remix and Minaj's "Feeling Myself.")

"I don't normally work with people like me. I'm always the one feeling like I'm a lunatic, like I'm over-thinking everything. But she's very, very hands-on. So whenever I work with her, I feel maybe I'm not so bad after all."

But Bey is more than a diligent worker and teacher. She's also that friend who returns the favor when you help her, and like a true work S.O. she goes above and beyond: "When I did 'Flawless,' she said that she would do something for The Pinkprint," Minaj said, citing one instance. "I was ecstatic. She had 'Feeling Myself'—she wanted to know how I felt about it. I said, 'I love it.' I knew girls were going to be posting pictures on Instagram saying '#feelingmyself.' I told Beyoncé that. I was like, 'You already know what's going to happen.'" And there you have it: what it's like to work with genius.
